MTA Permanent Art Catalog: Beginning 1980

Through the Permanent Art Program, Arts for Transit commissions public art that is seen by millions of city-dwellers as well as national and international visitors who use the MTA’s subways and trains. Arts for Transit works closely with the architects and engineers at MTA NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad to determine the parameters and sites for the artwork that is to be incorporated into each station scheduled for renovation. Both well-established and emerging artists contribute to the growing collection of works created in the materials of the system -mosaic, ceramic, tile, bronze, steel and glass. Artists are chosen through a competitive process that uses selection panels comprised of visual arts professionals and community representatives which review and select artists. This data provides the branch or station and the artist and artwork information.

透过永久艺术计划，Transit Arts委托创作公共艺术作品，这些作品不仅被数百万城市居民观赏，同时也吸引了使用纽约城市交通局（MTA NYC Transit）、长岛铁路（Long Island Rail Road）和地铁北铁路（Metro-North Railroad）的国内外游客。Transit Arts与MTA纽约市交通局、长岛铁路和地铁北铁路的建筑师与工程师紧密合作，以确定即将进行翻新每个车站的艺术作品的参数和位置。无论是已建立声誉还是新兴的艺术家，均贡献于系统材料（马赛克、陶瓷、瓷砖、青铜、钢材和玻璃）所创造的不断增长的作品集。艺术家通过一个竞争性过程被选中，该过程由视觉艺术专业人士和社区代表组成的选拔小组进行审查和选拔。此数据集提供了分支或车站以及艺术家和艺术作品的信息。
